/var/www/site/$ wget --content-disposition https://get.typo3.org/11
Ensure that the package is one level above the web server's document root.
Unpack the
typo3_src-11.5.x.tar.gz
:/var/www/site/$ tar xzf typo3_src-11.5.x.tar.gz
Note that the
x
in the extracted folder will be replaced with the latest bugfix version of TYPO3.Create the following symlinks in the document root:
cd public ln -s ../typo3_src-11.5.x typo3_src ln -s typo3_src/index.php index.php ln -s typo3_src/typo3 typo3
Important
Make sure to upload the whole TYPO3 source directory including the
vendor
directory, otherwise you will miss important dependencies.
This will then create the following structure:
├── typo3_src-11.5.x/ ├── public/ ├── ── typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-11.5.x/ ├── ── typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3/ ├── ── index.php -> typo3_src/index.php

Download TYPO3's source package from https://get.typo3.org/ and extract the
.zip

cd public mklink /d typo3_src ..\typo3_src-11.5.x mklink /d typo3 typo3_src\typo3 mklink index.php typo3_src\index.php
This will then create the following structure:
├── typo3_src-11.5.x/ ├── public/ ├── ── typo3_src -> ../typo3_src-11.5.x/ ├── ── typo3 -> typo3_src/typo3/ ├── ── index.php -> typo3_src/index.php
